Bluebird Care has been able to provide a carer who has looked after my parents very well. I particularly liked the active way they encouraged memory and participation activities. I think the carer does a tough job with great patience.

Thank you for such a positive review J S, have a wonderful day!

I am very grateful for the support that Bluebird Care has provided for my mum over the years but especially since my brother passed away. As I live a distance away from my mum, Bluebird Care did everything they could to accommodate changes needed to support her until I could move her into a home nearer
me. They ensured that she had a cooked lunch every day and prepared sandwiches for her tea. They kept the house clean and tidy and gave Mum reassurance when she was confused and agitated. She really looked forward to the carer's visits and appreciated their help, despite her memory often failing her. The daily report was particularly useful for me so that I knew how mum was each day and that she had had her medication, meals etc. My thanks to the whole team for the support they have provided.

Our carer is a wonderful addition to our family. She looks after all aspects of my wife’s needs. Cleanliness is given special attention and regular meals are an important change. My wife laughs and smiles from time to time. Life has a purpose again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A live-in carer - and at the end, two carers - came from Bluebird for EOL care for my husband. I was very happy with the carer and it was good to have someone to discuss some of the more technical aspects with towards the end - for example, the equipment I needed. My carer was certainly not a clock-watcher
and devoted herself, which was very good. Bluebird also helped with practical matters which was a help. So I was very happy with the service provided.

Since Bluebird Care took over my care, I have been really happy with their carers, care and professionalism - yet they all are very friendly, and we have a lot of laughs, or on occasions, when I feel "down", they do all they can to make me feel better,

Doing a good job. Reliable, friendly and helpful staff. House looking cleaner and tidier. Staff taking a positive interest in what is going on, e.g. arranging for a replacement tap in the kitchen. Good service.

Bluebird has helped support my mother for over a year now. They have always turned up, even given the challenges of the pandemic. I was pleased to see the HQ updates too on care in the pandemic. My sister and I have real confidence in the standard of professional service provided. I can also vouch
for the courtesy and flexibility, where possible, of the office and management.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this company and the Haywards Heath office in particular to anyone looking for help and support. My sister and I are very glad that we are with Bluebird and thank them for all they do.

The caring service is very reliable, with a very useful daily report. This month I fell ill and was unable to call into to help Mum, as I would normally do. Bluebird covered for me at very short notice and have also provided an extra cleaning service for my Mum. It's really helpful to have such a flexible
and dependable service. Mum seems very happy with the carers that visit and even though she rarely remembers the visits later in the day, I can use the report to check that her medication has been given etc.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were recommended Bluebird Care through a retirement village as my father needed additional daily support, to administer medication, blood pressure recordings, daily laundry and hygiene care and general wellbeing and the need for regular friendly contact.
We feel so delighted to have discovered Bluebird
Care, as they have certainly fulfilled all our expectations and gives us peace of mind.
I don't know how I could have, and continue to, manage his day to day care especially in these difficult times.
I can always contact one of the care team to arrange or amend aspects of his care plan and all the team are extremely cheerful and willing to help. Thank You.

My carer has been sent to me as a residential helper this summer and she has been invaluable. She is a practical and experienced helper and not only prepares me good meals but takes over the domestic shopping and keeps my house clean and in order. She has been unfortunate in being here during the domestic
upheaval and deep cleansing of my home remaining calm and capable. All my friends value her and love to meet her. She adds to my security. Thank you for her.

I can rely on someone always turning up at the right time and caring for my Mum. They often 'go the extra mile ' in times of difficulty I can always talk to someone at the office and they are quick to make needed changes to the care of my Mum.

The carers for my mother are friendly and polite and treat her courteously, ensuring she is left comfortable. The carers alert me if there is something wrong or further supplies such as bed pads are required.
On the rare occasion the carers are late, a phone call advising me would be appreciated.

My mother has used Bluebird Care Sussex Weald since 2018. We have found the carers to be professional, friendly and punctual. The carers also take time to ensure Mum is feeling okay and ask her about her day. They have also texted me and phoned me when an area of concern arises to let me know. I feel
very comfortable that my mum is receiving great care at home.

The caregivers at Bluebird are prompt, kind and treat my mother with respect. She enjoys their company and we wouldn't be without them. The management team go above and beyond and have made previous hospital discharges easy to manage when this can be a frustrating time for a family. They are available
for double-handed calls which can be a rarity in this field. We are grateful for their service.
